I'm applying as much pressure as I can from my end, MSG. I have a Republican Senator as well as a Democrat & so far I haven't heard from the Dem. My Representative is all but useless but some of the Reps in WI are Republicans Paul Ryan & Jim Sensenbrenner & they're all but foaming at the mouth over this scandal. Heads MUST roll over this!

My own personal feelings about this are simple - nothing will really be done unless and until those responsible for this go before a court of law. Have local district attorneys and state attorney generals convene grand juries to investigate and indict those whose negligence has caused the deaths of so many. Then, take them before judges and juries and make them defend their actions.

Maybe a private organization like the American Medical Association can have some leverage. Even though I'm not sure if any MDs were at fault it's entirely possible that some are involved with VA management & maybe they can lose their privilege to practice medicine or be involved in any sort of job in health care. I think that denying health care to anyone should be considered malpractice.

I advised my son to not use the VA. He's off of active duty from the 75th Ranger Regt but stayed in the Reserve. He's a Police Officer & has a good health insurance package as well as Tricare. So far he's had good treatment at VA but only for vision & physical exams required by his Reserve unit.
